| Message | Mr. Spreker, I do not see a reason to reform Saridan's well-functioning malpractice suit law. Klaus Van Der Linden himself was a doctor and always underlined the general negative effects of overusing malpractice suits. Mechiel Van Klipberg, Lindenist Shadow Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Mr Spreker, Not too sure the reasoning behind why the LU thinks or considers that only in the instance of death that it would be regarded as malpractice. A regulatory body will enhance the quality of health by developing strategic policy frameworks for effective co-ordination and guidance of setting healthcare standards for training and discipline in the professionals registered with the council and also on-going professional competence; and fostering compliance with those standards. Surely the LU wants to protect all patients in Saridan? Or maybe just the unqualified "practicing doctors" and not holding them accountable? We're not sure.

| Message | Mr Spreker, The Communist Party of Saridan votes in favour of this new proposition to reform and regulate the healthcare judiciary system that will in turn enhance quality of care and benefit patients. Annelies Maatman, Communist Shadow Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Mr. Spreker, Medical specialists are solid LU electorate, we must protect them from unjust and tiring court cases and thus cannot let this pass. More doctors will be unjustly accused by desperate patients than Malpracticers will be caught. Every party has its electorate, which interests it has to protect in the Federal Parliament and so do we. Mechiel Van Klipberg, Lindenist Shadow Minister of Health and Social Services |

| Message | Mr Spreker, We support this initiative, and we are not surprised that the LU is once again fighting for the elites and trying to shit on the common people. Philip Evers Kanselier |
